My friend did bump into Terry Bradshaw this morning actually (he works in the city)

if you guys have some time you should def read this, it is all the texts between martin and incongito

http://thebiglead.com/2014/02/03/here-are-over-1000-text-messages-that-richie-incognito-and-jonathan-martin-allegedly-exchanged/#

very interesting, here is what i took from it:

- they definitly seem like good friends.  they texted each other it seemed every few days asking what they were up to and where they were going that night

- i would say about 90% of the texts were about smashing chicks or drinking...in order to smash some chicks haha.  also a lot of it was in-season and not just offseason.  i guess it makes sense, these guys are around each other all day so when they are not the only thing to really talk about is going out.

- multiple texts talking about being blacked out which doesnt surprise me with incognito.

- a few mentions of drugs which could be trouble.  incognito told martin he needed to chip in for the blow when they were in vegas haha, and something about smoking at pouncey.

- man i wish i was in the NFL after hearing about all these trips these guys go on (ingconitio went from FL to hawaii, to cali, to vegas to brazil in the offseason) and how every week was new girls who they were hooking up with.  so jealous right now

yeah read the highlights of the texts and its not good for martin. not only are those texts normal for football players but for anyone with money between 18-35. not sure why martin put so much blame on incognito its starting to sound like his agent and parents were the ones runing incognitos career for no reason.

that pic is hilarious. theres an even funnier one of him taking a snap haha.



Report: Texans “initially leaning” toward Manziel or Bortles

Posted by Darin Gantt on February 4, 2014, 12:51 PM EST

AP
With the Super Bowl in the books, the offseason speculation can officially begin.

So other than the Seahawks having a parade this week, that means all eyes will be on the Texans, the owners of the first pick in the draft.

Their need for a quarterback to replace Matt Schaub seems obvious, and according to Russ Lande of Sports on Earth, they’re “initially leaning” toward either Central Florida’s Blake Bortles or Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel.

The report cites some potential unease about new coach Bill O’Brien about all the off-field stuff that comes with Manziel, who would doubtless be a huge hit if he stayed in his home state.



fish our manziel/bortles debate could come down to the wire!

clowney going #1.

getting back to the martin story, the texts definitly do not favor him at all.  all it proved to me was that they were boys and liked going out with each other n getting wasted haha.  now that is not the whole story obviously, it could have been much different in the locker room when they were around everyone else and things could have been much different and martin could have been picked on a lot more.  but damn based on this incgonito got badly portayed by the media. 

i took a look at eagles schedule next year and it looks brutal.  obviously things will change from now until when we actually play them but here is how it looks as of now:

- all 4 games vs the NFC west which obviously includes the super bowl champs, probably the 2nd best team in the league, and the 10-6 cardinals who probably would have been the 2nd or 3rd best team in the AFC.  and oh ya, if the rams get a QB they're no cakewak either.  luckily every team in the nfc east has to play these 4 teams as well.

- however, when you get 1st place one year, you get a 1st place schedule the next.  eagles 2 games are going to be vs 1st place GB and 1st place panthers.  i guess it could have been worse if the saints/falcons bounce back next year but as of now eagles face pretty much every team from this years playoffs:

NFC Seeds:

1. seattle (check)

2. Panthers (check)

3. eagles

4. packers (check)

5. 49ers (check)

6. saints

7. cards (check)

the ONLY. the ONE and ONLY reason i dont see it working is because its nearly impossilble to get a hotel (or a cab!) close to the stadium during home games. ppl would have to travel a long way with all the extra ppl a super bowl brings.

yeah but the steelers played the redskins last year. are we just gonna go to go? if caps play pens in playoffs that could be a great time

Browns promoted assistant GM Ray Farmer to general manager and fired GM Mike Lombardi.

And the factory of sadness finds a way to get worse!

browns owner was a former minority steelers owner.  look at this crazy stat:

Jimmy’s impatient, despite his tenure as a significant minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the NFL’s model of stability. But while the Steelers have had three coaches since 1969, Haslam has had three coaches since he bought the team.

this on the otherhand is awesomeeeeeee

 getting back to this.  i know the salary is obviously extremely high, but isn't it a fair number for someone who is the leader of a billion dollar company?  what do you think other CEO's of fortune 500 companies make a year?  plus its not like normal people are paying him, billionaire NFL owners are and they all think it's a fair price.  i dont get the outrage over this.

i hope they cutt his ass. ravens offense is bad as it is and rice was their best player before last year. ravens are in some trouble -- no cap room, pitta, monroe, oher, terrence cody contracts up, traded picks for monroe. im loving this!

 i dont think they can cut him, i think his cap # is higher than his salary or right around the same so it would be pointless.

also from the video it seems his girl is passed out cuz shes too drunk as oppose to her being knock out from a fight like the title suggests.  dont u think he would be in more trouble if he knocked her unconcious and then dragged her around?

i tend to agree she was just passed out drunk. if he knocked her out for that long in the elevator that would be attempted murder, brotha.

on the other hand, its really hard to get so drunk you are completly unconscious when walking around a hotel to the point you are getting dragged like a dead body. its also a VERY big coincidence that he was charged with assult the same night she was unconscious from alcohol

its prolly somewhere in the middle. maybe she was so drunk he got pissed off and went off on her for being white girl wasted.



as for mayock, i tend to agree with most of his assessments. its hard to judge similar RBs and auburn ran like 3 plays on offense. i think most ppl could get yards in that offense. to me there arent many surprises. im starting to really like calvin pryor and cant wait to see what khalil mack can do.

bart scott also joining CBS pregame show.  is tony g and bart scott and upgrade over dan marino and shannan sharpe?

OTL is doing a special titled "The N Word" which is basically jason whitlock, wilbon, ryan clark, common, jameel hill and bob ley talking in circles about how its terrible and ok at the same time. bob ley is having a hard time haha.

so close yet so far! maybe its even cooler that he didnt answer cause to me that means he agrees with you

hahaha they played him against watkins, archer, johnny douche and 300lb louis nix. they all looked like they were going in fast motion haha
